my first impression was that Anthony is so taken by a girl that he'd "take a fall", knowing that he'd "do anything, i will for you". it's not just the sex (so beyond the 'velvet glove' ... and besides, we know how messy the Chilis can get), it's the being "close to my skin".
she stuns him, and his friends can see it. they also see that she doesn't really have a clue how much he's into her. they're laughing so he can't say anything to anyone about it, but he wants to.
otherwise, maybe they don't believe his sincerity, sort of like 'Sea of No Cares' by Great Big Sea.
